The mission of Phuket Has Been Good To Us is to improve the economic opportunities and life chances of young people by funding and implementing high quality, practical English language education in government schools in Phuket. To that end the Vocational Opportunities Through English (V.O.T.E) programme aims to provide the conditions in which pupils can best develop their English language skills, and realise the exciting, additional possibilities their futures may hold, with proficiency in English.

One important aspect of our vocational focus is a series of presentations, by Thai guest speakers, who address the secondary level students at Rajaprachanukroh 36 School. These speakers offer an insight into careers, which students may not have previously considered, by sharing with the students their vocational pathways, experiences, and the contribution of English skills to their success. The V.O.T.E. talks also provide students with positive Thai role models whose achievements they may aspire to. It is clear by the attendance levels, level of interest and number of students who actively participate during each monthly session that they appreciate hearing first hand why it so important for them to learn English.
